2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Other side of that is if your team is developing a player that flashes in his call-up opportunity, then you've got to move to protect him or a lesser team raids your practice squad...

I'd sure like to bring in an additional RB for this roster; maybe even bring back Jonathan Williams if he's still available; the veteran RB market sure dried up quick...

Wonder if we could even move Warford for a RB for depth and then sign a Free Agent Guard to look at in camp?

With Frank Gore signing with the Jets, can't help but wonder if we don't need to bring in another running back, who's more of a running back than a kicking game specialist...

Guaranteed to find a value before the season starts. I can't say it enough - San Fran made the Superbowl with three journeymen RBs.

Yeah, three RBs; what do you think Sean Payton is gonna do, press Taysom in at RB?

If the Jets cut Avery Williamson, I hope we pursue him. 120 tackles in 2018. ACL in preseason last year kept him from playing all year. He'd be an upgrade over Anzalone and Kiko.

We've got a lot of money already tied up at LBer with Demario Davis, just spent two third round picks at LBer with Zach Baun, & we play nickel for nearly 2/3 snaps...

Plus you've still got Alex Anzalone, who played as well as anyone when healthy (maybe that's finally fixed); Kiko is as good as it comes until recent injuries; and we've got more...

I'd be patient at LBer for now; Defensive End and Running Back is what concerns me at the moment...

JP you have one of the shortest tempers when it comes to injuries... You can't tell me you're completely confident in our LBs either coming back at full strength OR playing a full season.
